Which consequence of Le Chatelier's principle dominates dynamic chemical equilibrium under industrial ammonia synthesis at elevated temperature?

A)Reduced equilibrium yield of ammonia
B)Increased catalyst surface area
C)Enhanced nitrogen dissociation rate
D)Decreased activation energy via adsorption

💡 Explanation

When temperature elevates the equilibrium of exothermic ammonia synthesis shifts via Le Chatelier's principle, decreasing the forward reaction constant because heat acts as product, reducing final ammonia yield. Therefore a yield reduction occurs rather than enhanced catalytic effects since increased temperature disfavors product formation based on equilibrium constants.
